Kuwaiti duo in soup for cheating vehicle buyer

KUWAIT CITY, Nov 27: The Civil Court has ordered two Kuwaiti owners of a well-known car company to cancel a contract for the sale of a luxury German vehicle, and ordered the company to return the sum of KD 39,000 to the plaintiff as well as pay compensation of KD 500. Lawyer Ali Al-Ali filed the lawsuit on behalf of his client, who had agreed to pay the company owners KD 39,000 to import cars from abroad. However, she eventually discovered that she had been deceived and defrauded. After the Criminal Court convicted the defendants and sentenced them to prison, Lawyer Al-Ali filed a civil lawsuit seeking the return of the money, compensation for the crime, and the reimbursement of the financial losses incurred by his client. The Civil Court ruled that the defendants must return the KD 39,000 and pay KD 500 in compensation for economic and moral damages. Lawyer Al-Ali said, “While the court awarded compensation, we still believe that the material and moral damages suffered by my client exceed the amount granted. Therefore, we have appealed to the civil division of the Court of Appeal to increase the compensation amount.”
